Well baby- there you stand
staring at the phone in your hand
Oh my god you can't believe
It's happenin again
The mergers done and the crunch has come
And it looks like the end

And you're back out on the street
And you're tryin to remember
How do you start out over
You don't know if you can
You don't care much for that network lunch
But you must have a plan

You never thought they'd let you go
This far down the line
I know what's been on your mind
You're afraid it's all been wasted time

It's hit you hard now you're really hurtin'
It's so unfair it makes you mad
You can hear the sound of bridges burnin
No no no how could they treat you so bad?

So you live from day to day
And you dream about tomorrow
And the hours go by like minutes
And the shadows come to stay
So you take a little something
To make them go away

And you could do so many things baby
If you can stop your mind
From wondering what you've left behind
And from worrying about this wasted time

Another job has come and gone
and the years keep rushin on
I remember how you you always wanted
To try to make it on your own
Well sometimes a shock is what you need
To really get you goin'

So you can get on with your life baby
I know it'll work out fine
And maybe one day you will find
That it wasn't really wasted time
